alfredo33175 Thank you for reaching out to us through our Xfinity Community Forums. I sincerely appreciate you sharing your concerns with us. First and foremost, I want to thank you for being a loyal customer for all these years. Hearing that you feel unappreciated or "forced out" is the last thing we want, especially when you are managing a fixed income. We understand that every dollar counts, and seeing your bill climb from $232 to $256 is understandably frustrating when you're expecting the stability of a long-term agreement. Please know that we value your residency with us, and I would love the opportunity to take a closer look at your account to see what is driving these increases and explore all available options to make your service more affordable.

I feel the same way.  Recently changed and added Xfinity Mobile.  As soon as I get a week to dedicate to changing services I intend on making a switch.  We also have been customers since Comcast (?) started and feel hoodwinked into recent plan.  Spoke with maybe three different customer service reps - got three different answers and finally got a knowledgeable rep on the phone that had a different answer altogether.  It is the holiday week and I accepted new plan.  And, was informed I was supposed to be "grandfathered" in but it was too late.  $40 for a landline now, premium channels are changed and not as extensive as previous plan.  And, the package price was increased.  Significantly.  Without the mobile plan.  What a mistake.  I used to tell people when they were changing from Comcast/Xfinity not to change and that they would be disappointed citing different complaints from people that I knew had changed to a different carrier.  

BTW - it took me three visits to the customer service facility to finally get the mobile line active.  The representatives there were friendly but sometimes seemed as confused as I was.  We are also retired and trying to keep costs down.  The thing to do now is get an internet connection elsewhere and accumulate separate streaming channels individually.  I have contacted a person that will help me through this process when I get the time needed to transfer things.  I know it will be time consuming.  I kept things as they were longer than intended because it would be hard for my husband to learn new channels  but I'm confident it won't be as hard as I have anticipated in the past.

SandraU  Thank you for sharing your experience on our Xfinity Community Forums. We truly appreciate your decades of loyalty since our Comcast beginnings. I am so sorry for the frustration and "hoodwinked" feeling you’ve described. Between the multiple trips to activate your mobile line and the conflicting information regarding your "grandfathered" status, it’s clear we haven't provided the seamless experience you deserve. We understand the importance of keeping costs down on a retired budget and making sure services remain simple for your husband to use. We would love the chance to regain your trust and find a solution that fits your needs. Please send a direct message with your full name and address to get started.

Feel same way.  Customer for however long Comcast/Xfinity has been established.  Recently changed.  Big mistake.  $40 for landline now.  Was supposed to be "grandfathered" in but it was too late because I had accepted a different plan that was explained as "identical to existing plan".  Opted to join Xfinity Mobile.  It took 3 different visits to customer service office to get phone working.  So, we are in a different plan, less channels, increased costs.  I will be changing when I get a week to dedicate to removing and replacing everything.  Including mobile service.  I was warned.  Not to pursue changes online and not to change to xfinity mobile.  Extremely disappointed - and broke.
